[BlindGossip] There is an area in Griffith Park where you can take the kiddies for a train ride. A certain actor used to enjoy taking men for another kind of ride in the same area. He would cruise the park, pick up a guy, and then hook up with them in his car. The really ironic thing here is that the actor is so religious that when he was a teen heartthrob (a couple of decades ago) he used to insist that any dialogue that was even the slightest bit sexual or profane be removed from his lines because they violated his sense of decency. He’s all grown up now, but we’re sure his wife really appreciates what a moral man she married.
SOLVED!
It’s Kirk Cameron! Source: BlindGossip
Well, it certainly has been an interesting week for Kirk Cameron. The evangelical Christian actor made some shocking remarks on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” about homosexuality.
The 41-year-old was asked by Morgan if he thinks homosexuality is a sin.
“I think that it’s unnatural,” Cameron said. “I think that it’s detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization.” Cameron also spoke out against gay marriage.
He was later praised by Piers for being “brave” and for being “honest to what he believed”. It’s too bad Kirk’s honesty didn’t include telling Piers about his penchant for cruising for men in Griffith Park.
We are not saying that Kirk Cameron is gay. We are just saying that this blind is about him. It’s up to you to decide what he was doing in the car with those men in Griffith Park. And it will be up to Piers Morgan or another interviewer to directly ask Kirk Cameron if he is gay or if he has ever engaged in sexual acts with other men in Griffith Park… or anywhere else.

From The Chicago Tribune:
GLAAD rips actor Kirk Cameron for remarks on homosexuality
LOS ANGELES, March 4 (TheWrap.com) – Former “Growing Pains” star Kirk Cameron‘s negative comments on homosexuality and gay marriage, made Friday on CNN’s “Pier Morgan Tonight,” have drawn a rapid response from GLAAD.
Cameron said he thought homosexuality was “unnatural.”
“I think that it’s detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization,” the actor told Morgan.
Cameron, who is an evangelical Christian, also spoke out against gay marriage.
“Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don’t think anyone else should either,” Cameron said. “So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don’t.”
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued a statement Saturday in response to the actor’s appearance on the CNN program.
“In this interview, Kirk Cameron sounds even more dated than his 1980s TV character,” Herndon Graddick, senior director of programs at GLAAD, wrote “Cameron is out of step with a growing majority of Americans, particularly people of faith who believe that their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters should be loved and accepted based on their character and not condemned because of their sexual orientation.”
Graddick also addressed Cameron’s remarks regarding gay marriage.
“With an increasing number of states recognizing marriage equality, Americans are seeing that marriage is about committed couples who want to make a lifelong promise to take care of and be responsible for each other and that gay and lesbian couples need equal security and legal protections. That’s not ‘redefining’ anything.”
In brief remarks to TMZ Saturday night, Morgan called Cameron “brave” to voice his beliefs. Morgan said he feels Cameron “was honest to what he believed” even if most people find his views to be “antiquated.”

Kirk Cameron
I knew it was Kirk Cameron!
only kirk cameron comes to mind but I don’ t want to believe it since mike seaver was my childhood crush!!!!.
Welcome aboard the adulthood train, where all of your teen crushes turn out to be gay (if you are lucky) or raging *holes, lol.
He was just gorgeous way back then
LOL did a google search. He’s still good looking and we were born on the same day. Nice bit of trivia.
Kirk Cameron? He’s the first one I thought of.
Kirk Cameron.
I agree Kirk Cameron. He always strike me as some one who would do something like that.
this screams Kirk Cameron for me, too!
All grown up? Kirk Cameron of course….
Kurt Cameron?
*kirk
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron all the way!!!!
Kirk Cameron?
Kirk Cameron?! Yikes! 0_0
Kirk Cameron!
Oh man! This makes me think of Kirk Cameron with the way it’s worded. I really, really hope I’m wrong on this one.
For clarification I should say Kirk Cameron was a teen heartthrob a couple decades ago, was and still is really religious, used to insist that any dialogue that was even the slightest bit sexual or profane be removed from his lines because they violated his sense of decency (after he was saved, anyway)…
Crap I am convincing myself even more this is him and I really don’t want it to be.
Kirk Cameron. “He’s all grown up now” makes me thing “Growing Pains”
*think
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron–Evangelical Christian guy, was a heartthrob in the 80s when he was on the show Growing Pains (“all grown up now”).
OMG Kirk Cameron?!
I want to say Tom Cruise but only because it says cruise twice in this blind.
Kirk Cameron or a crocoduck. Either way, I’m smiling.
Hi Ace, long-time lurker first-time commenter.
Is it Tom Cruise? Thought it might be due to the “cruise” hint. : )
Hi Dee! Love, Ace
Kirk Cameron ??
Please be Kirk Cameron!!!
kirk cameron?
Cruises for guys…..hello Tommy!!!
Oh man. PLEASE be Kirk Cameron!
Kirk Cameron seems to fit the bill, especially with the “all grown up” pointing to “Growing Pains”. I know he’s said before that he was really zealous after his conversion and made a point to have anything questionable taken out. The producers needed to keep him happy, but their relationships were very contentious. The part about the wife appreciating the moral man could point to Fireproof, where his character learns to be a better, moral husband.
Kirk Cameron
Is Kirk Cameron still in LA?
Kirk Cameron??
Without even trying to decipher clues – Kirk Cameron?
O please be Kirk Cameron. O please O please O please!
Ah yes – all grown up – growing pains
KirK Cameron
Kirk Cameron!!!
(Please let this be revealed)
Gotta be Kirk Cameron, he’s the only one I know that has touted his religion and had suggestive dialogue removed.
cruise mentioned twice plus religion maybe scientology? tom cruise?
hi to the forum on my first guess/post
Hi to the Caz! Love, Ace
I like this guess, but I’m going with Kirk.
This has to be Kirk Cameron!!! It’s really too bad because he was soooo cute!
Tom Cruise.
Kirk Cameron? First time posting.
Hey Tutti! Love, Ace
Kirk Cameron.
Kirk Cameron? Wow, that’d be something… what with his religious school ‘Way of The Master’ and it’s anti-gay preachings.
Kirk Cameron of course!
Ok wild guess here – Kirk Cameron (only because I loved him)
Choo Choo!
I don’t think i can ever watch another episode of Growing Pains the same again!
Kirk Cameron?
Kirk Cameron.
Kirk Cameron
kirk cameron. he was notorious for getting his lines changed on growing pains and the playboy playmate who played his girlfriend fired.
Hey, first time posting. Love the site!
I have no idea if he’s gay, but when thinking of an uber-religious former teen heartthrob that would have that kind of pull on his show, Kirk Cameron is the only person I can think of…
Hey Vesper! Love, Ace
Kirk Cameron
John Travolta. First time posting!
Hi Weaz! Love, Ace
Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains?
First time poster! Love this website =) My guess? Kirk Cameron.
Hi KC! Love, Ace
Actor: Tom Cruise (the park).
Religion(?): Scientology
Wife: Stepford Katie
Wow! Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains??
kirk cameron
O_O….
KIRK CAMERON? Holy crap, please let it be…
The only name I can think of is Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains.
Kirk Cameron Growing Pains.
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron? I remember reading somewhere that he didn’t want any profanity or sexual references in his dialogue.
Kirk Cameron?
This was just a huge guess, but I guess everyone else thought the same. That’s sad for him and his wife
kirk cameron
Kirk Cameron.
Mike Seaver
Kirk Cameron ~ who else?
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron?
Corey Feldman?
Were you alive in the 80s? He wasn’t preaching morality to anyone at that time.
Gotta be Kirk C… I used to just write the people caught doing this kind of thing off as hypocrites. Now it just makes me sad that some people can’t deal with who they are and hide behind self righteousness. You would think someone fighting their desires so hard would realize that they were “born this way” and not make it their business to stifle others who are OK with themselves.
Well, you know what they say-most of Hollywood’s men are heavily bearded homosexuals on the D/L…..
But I wonder if Kirk is bi, not gay. The blind doesn’t define his preference outside of liking men. He could like both.
Being a bearded is not great either but WAY less damaging than using religion to justify why being gay is wrong.
This was way too easy – Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron?
I’m trying to think of someone other than Kirk Cameron…nah. Got nothing. Kirk FTW.
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron, married to Chelsea Noble and became a born-again Christian in his late teens.
Kirk Cameron
Wow Kirk was boner’s best friend! Lol
John Travolta!
kirk cameron
Jonathan Taylor Thomas?
(I can’t help but imagine him and his new ‘friend’ taking a ride on the train, LOL)
Is the double use of Cruise here too obvious?
I stand by TC as he is super religious…Scientology.
I think everyone is going to guess Kirk Cameron, but I don’t know how religious he was during Growing Pains (his best friends’ name was Boner, for crying out loud), so I’m saying Donny Osmond.
W-e-l-l, “Boner” came up — no pun intended — when they first met as kindergarteners, if you’ll recall, and it was merely innocent little Mike shortening Richard Stabone’s last name. While it does kind of have racy undertones, it wasn’t meant to be such, I believe.
All that said, I STILL think it’s Kirk.
He also had the actress who was playing his girlfriend (and I want to say the youngest Seaver’s nanny?) at the time fired because she had posed in Playboy.
Kirk Cameron?
Kirk Cameron.
Kirk Cameron
omg so kirk cameron
Kirk Cameron?
aaaaaand all grown up- reference to his show “growing pains”
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
Scott Baio?
Kirk Cameron, Growing Pains…
I don’t like making this guess at all but it’s the first that comes to mind. ‘teen heartthrob’ who disputed his dialogue, ‘all grown up’ = Growing Pains and he’s married.
Kirk Cameron.
Kirk Cameron is my guess
Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains.
Kurt Cameron!!
First time poster!
XO, Xo! Love, Ace
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron. He wouldn’t be the first holier-than-thou type to do something like this.
Kirk Cameron?
Mike Seaver aka Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
Tom Cruise? “Cruising” being a clue?
Obviously Kirk Cameron.
Is Tom Cruising?
Kirk cameron
Kirk Cameron from GrowingPains.
Easy! Kirk Cameron!
I’m thinking Kirk Cameron.
Dirty! Could it be Kirk Cameron? I know he’s vey religious now, but not sure about his faith in the past.
Kirk Cameron?
This sounds like Kirk Cameron. I assume everyone is in moderation.
Kirk Cameron?? I know he is super religious.
Kirk Cameron used to insist his storylines be modified if they were too racy for his Christian morals. I wonder if this could be him?
Kirk Cameron.
Kirk Cameron
Could it be Kirk Cameron? Others must be in moderation…i can’t be the only one to come up with this answer…
Kirk Cameron- “all grown up” = Growing Pains
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
kirk cameron!
Kirk Cameron used to give a lot of trouble about dialogue when he was on TV in that show (what’s it called again) with Alan Thicke.
good one, ace. going with kirk cameron on this one. in fact, on the wikipedia page for growing pains, it mentions that as kirk converted from atheism to christianity, ” he began to insist that story lines be stripped of anything he thought too adult or racy in Growing Pains.”
Kirk Cameron?
I can only think of Kirk Cameron. His show ‘Growing Pains’ was still on in 1992 I think. He was considered a bit of a heartthrob then, and he did get religion during the shows run. then there is this quote: “He admits that his religious beliefs put him at odds with the show’s writers and that he flatly refused to do parts of the scripts as presented, but was willing to work around or to edit the offensive content.” (source, imdb.com)
kirk cameron
PS – It’s in Griffith Park
I’m sure everyone is in moderation so apologies if I’m redundant, but I’m going with Kirk Cameron on this one.
Kirk Cameron, dunno no other guesses
I guess everyone’s in moderation, but this screams Kirk Cameron for me.
“Cruise” is used twice. So I am going with Tom Cruise. Two decades ago he would’ve been the teen heart throb in Risky Business and some football movie I can’t remember.
Sounds like a Kirk Cameron setup, but I don’t buy that it’s him.
Kirk Cameron?
Kirk Cameron?
Kirk Cameron?
If this isn’t Kirk Cameron I will be really surprised…
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron
Scott Baio
tell me it isn’t kirk cameron
Kirk Cameron.
Tom Cruise.
The clues seems to indicate Kirk Cameron..and I have no problems believing he could be gay – but I’ve never heard these rumors before..
Kirk Cameron.
first time post- i am rarely up to date with the celeb sleuthing gig however, this sounds very much like it could be kirk cameron.
Hi The! Love, Ace
Kirk Cameron? “He’s all grow up now” is perhaps a reference to Growing Pains.
“cruises for guys” – Tom Cruise
This sure reads like Kirk Cameron. Oh, that would make me laugh.
This has to be kirk c.
Kirk Cameron
Kirk Cameron comes to mind.
Kurt Cameron
kirk cameron
frm wikipedia:
After converting to Christianity, he began to insist that story lines be stripped of anything he thought too adult or racy in Growing Pains.
Gotta be Kirk Cameron — ex teen idol 2 decades ago, “all grown up” (Growing Pains) and paints himself as Mr Morality. BTW, I live in that area and have taken my kids on that train. Now I’ll have a new image to accompany the activity… ha!
I live in the Area too and have been on the trains there also-oy!!!
Kirk Cameron? That’s the only one I can think of~
“All grown up now” = Growing Pains. Kirk Cameron for the win.
Kirk Cameron?
Blind Gossip is there any connection with today’s blind and this blind item:
http://blindgossip.com/?p=22812#more-22812
Kirk Cameron = Chelsea NOBLE
NOBLE = Moral man
come on out Kirk the closet door is now open
So the real question becomes: Did Kirk receive favors from Leonardo to secure the gig on the show????
How are so many people guessing Tom Cruise? Since when did he refuse sexual dialogue? Risky Business anyone? Top Gun? Some of you aren’t thinking. Just because they use the word “cruise” doesn’t mean that’s it, especially when the rest of it doesn’t make sense.
Kirk Cameron all the way. No one else fits.
Really, people? Am I the only one to go out on a limb and say, “Rick(y) Schroeder?” (Although I do think this is Kirk Cameron, too.)
Im going to go a different direction than everyone else and guess Willie Ames- popular in the Seventies for Eight is Enough and the Eighties for Charles in Charge. He was pretty hot stuff near the end of the 70′s/beginning of the 80′s. He ended up developing a pretty nasty drug habit and was born again by the time Charles in Charge started. He also created a series called Bibleman.
I like this guess!
Maybe his show should have been called, “Eight Inches is Enough.”
My thought exactly. You beat me too it. Although I don’t think is divorced again now.
Serious typing problem. I think he is divorced again now.
But did he insist that even the slightest sexual and/or profane dialogue be removed from his lines so as to not violate his sense of decency?
intriguing guess, except that Willie Ames was popular and considered hunky back in the 70′s early 80′s, which is 3 decades ago not 2.
Oh, Kirk Cameron…it’s so gross to cruise in parks. Go to a decent bar instead, please.
For me personally, the best part of the Kirk Cameron saga is that the girlfriend who supposedly helped him to become a born-again…is now an out lesbian who is married to a Jewish woman.
Whoever this is, i think he should strongly consider a career in politics because he has a wonderful sense of hypocracy shaking.
My fave part of BG items is figuring out how the picture is a clue.
Going with Kirk Cameron, he was in a “Christian drama” film called Fireproof that contains this scene in which he plays a firefighter rescuing a woman in a car crash stuck on train tracks, and he yells “the train is coming!” Think this seals it and hope that explains the link Ace.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQiDElc3iqw
Yes and also “G_riffith P_ark” = GP = “G_rowing P_ains” as well as “all grown up” as someone else mentioned. And his morality did start back in his Growing Pains years.
And all the reference to “kiddies” could mean all the kids in Growing Pains or Full House (his sister’s show)
Kirk Cameron
Can’t be Tom Cruise. I can think of a dozen different movies he’s swore like sailor – “F**K you, Harold!” – and has played more than one character of dubious morality.
Really sounds like Kirk Cam, though the Aames guess is intriguing. I hope it’s not Kirk just for the reason he’s so ardantly preached his morality and values that it makes me angry he would be such a hypocrite. I hate when people give even more ammo to the “I told he/she/it was phony” crowd.
And don’t forget the movie Eyes Wide Shut! That’d have been a Very different movie if he had all of the sexual stuff cut out! heheh
Kirk Cameron was the first one to come to mind. He’s gay?
Rick Springfield.
Very religious. Very rigid. Was on tv, had probs with producers, insisted on constant rewrites of scripts. 1970s/80s teen idol. Has been married for a long time.
Nice guess…. and I like when people break from the pack. But he was on GH for years plus made a return and I can tell you from very personal experience that soap actors have no say whatsoever on scripts. Some actors may adlib on a very limited basis but that’s it. I worked for a H.W. who (in)famously killed off characters for questioning scripts too much. We had one actress who found religion and quit the show because she didn’t like the subject matter. So he wouldn’t have lasted there if he felt that way.
Tell me, tell me, tell me! I’m a soap fan and I want names!
The more I think about it, I think this could also about Rick Schroder. He was covered in teen magazines like BOP in the 80′s.
The picture is of a train, and that was one of the more memorable scenes in his show, Silver Spoons, because he would always ride a mini train. It seems that the picture in the blind is too deliberate not to be mentioned.
Rick is known to be really conservative.
Also, hello Ace, I am a recent poster, but I never said hi.
Hi Op! Love, Ace
Kirk Cameron hands down. These born again stuff is the FAKEST form of religion has some of he biggest hypocrties in its ranks.
For those who think that it might be Tom Cruise, remember in his huge breakout role, in RISKY BUSINESS, how he ran a bordello out of his home, and how many times he said “Sometimes you just gotta say ‘what the f***’?” Hardly non-sexual and non-profane! So, no, on the basis of the clues as given, it could not be Tom Cruise.
I’m sure I’m wrong, but for some reason that train makes me think of Ricky (Rich) Schroeder – one of the scenes during the title sequence was of him driving in his toy train…
Its Tom Cruise – 100%
In work he’ll rationalizes use of obscene language,violence and sex in movie as part of the job – its not him. On the street, he’d totally request, however politely, to use clean language.Ha! Big clue: “The train” “all grown up”. Character in Risky Business lost his virginity “doing it” on a train.Reference to Cruise 2x and going for “a ride”.
What the heck??? If Kirk is gay, why on earth is he slamming other people who are honest enough to come out and face the consequences? What a strange dude!
Self-hatred.
He hates himself, because he is torn between his religion. I’ve know people who are gay and they get angry at other gay people and calling them names, and I’m just laughing inside. Self hatred is a you know what, and by Kirk saying that he is trying to end the rumors of him being gay.
Was wondering the same thing, Ama. The guy’s free to have his opinions, but to go on a national television show and condemn people when he’s got his own skeletons in the closet is just odd. He has to know, in this day and age with the internet, nothing is sacred anymore and that someone would talk, especially now. Is he trying to get himself outed or does he seriously think if he preaches enough against it, he can cleanse himself of it?
I just don’t see why this is necessary. If he has the beliefs that he does and he put those days behind him, why dog him about it? People are free to have whatever beliefs and opinions they want. Stop telling other people not to believe differently than you do.
He’s a disgusting bigot, people like that don’t deserve to be respected.
kIRK IS NO DIFFERENT THAN A POLITICIAN.
Generally speaking, people who proclaim “Do as I say! [but not as I secretly do]” have no credibility and deserve to be revealed as the liars they are. Usually they are caught in their lies–like Ted Haggart and Larry Craig. It’s one thing to suggest that their beliefs should not be questioned, but if they engaged in the very activities they profess to abhor, then it’s fair game.
For real. If you want to stay in the closet, mind your damn business. You start spouting this hypocritical hate speak, people are going to call you out.
Who says he put those days behind him?
No wonder Kirk is so nuts. He’s been railing against his own impulses. If he’d done it privately, this wouldn’t be such big news, but he’s made it a point to come out (no pun intended) against homosexuality publicly and fervently.
Thank you, Ace, for revealing this one at such an opportune moment.
According to the BI, those days are here and now.
This is not just about someone having a different opinion but when they are able to actually vote against someone else’s civial liberties, than it becomes a problem.
If he’s going to use his celebrity status to condemn the actions/lifestyles of others, then he’d better be willing to accept the repercussions!
I’m all for freedom of speech, and I defend his right to say everything that he said (however much I disagree). But don’t we have a right to know if he’s being a hypocrite?
Kirk is gonna have to eat his own hypocritical words.lol
When will he officially come out? Then again, he does not have to actually come out of the closet. If he wants to deny being gay, that’s fine, but he shouldn’t put people who are open down. Kirk, if you see this: You’re gay. It’s okay. Some people are gay. Some people are bi. Some people are straight. Some have no idea and others love everyone. Just deal with it.
This sounds more like Joey Lawrence even though it’s listed as “solved”.
GOOD JOB ACE!
I can’t stand this Cameron *! Ace, How do we get this news out fast enough so that he can go rot in a hole and disappear forever.
For the record, I LOVE BG!
